Limited Edition Mars 295 GPU from Asus
Gizmo Watch — ... The Asus Mars 295 is a combination of two GTX 285 chips assisted by 240 shader processors on each of the GPU. Other features include a 512-bit GDDR3 memory interface, 32 memory chips for 4GB equally shared on the two GPUs. Those who belong to this domain would have already recognised the internal construction that replicates the GTX 295 barring the higher extension of course. With the Computex on, it is irrelevant to mention where the ‘Mars’ was showcased. Via: Dvice/ Maximumpc
